The 20 Things Every Adult Should Know About Their Home and Car

How prepared are you when something goes wrong?

Could you shut off the water to your house if a pipe burst? Do you know how to jump-start a dead battery, check your engine oil, or recognize when your HVAC system is trying to tell you something is wrong?

In this episode, Andy McCann from CrossFit Garage steps away from fitness to talk about another form of self-reliance: practical life skills. You don't need to be a mechanic or a contractor, but every adult should know the basics that can save thousands of dollars, prevent emergencies, and help you avoid being taken advantage of.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• The top 10 home maintenance skills every homeowner should know
• The top 10 car maintenance skills every driver should know
• How to identify costly problems before they become disasters
• Which repairs are great DIY projects—and which should be left to professionals
• How basic knowledge builds confidence, independence, and resilience

Whether you're a new homeowner, a first-time driver, or simply want to become more capable, this episode will help you build practical knowledge that pays dividends for the rest of your life.
